Hammocks for the summer

The Fifth have started buying hammocks and tarps for the Scouts Summer Camp.

We hit a major stumbling block when we found out the price of tarpaulins (the sheet that goes over the top like a tent) but after alot of hunting and emailing, we found a supplier who has provided us with all the tarps that we need at a fraction of the cost. They’re ‘seconds’ so they are slightly discoloured but at a discount of more than 60%, I think that we can put up with that! (we’re saving over £1,000)

We can’t wait to try them out, the explorers are hoping to give them a trial run this Friday and then the scouts will be let loose with them in the Summer.

The pictures below are from our suppliers at DD Hammocks.

 

Video planning night

So we set each patrol the challenge of storyboarding a video tonight. Next week they will film them . Each patrol had a leader with them to offer guidance.

Nick with his patrol... they had to rework their original idea that contained rather challenging.themes that would prob get a bbfc rating beyond their years.

Homeward bound

the British waterways man turned up at 9.30 but some divvie boaters (not us)  and poor water levels meant that we took a while to get through the locks. Lots of cruising to do today.

Backwoods cooking @ explorers

The explorers bundled down to Frylands wood to see who could make the most adventurous and imaginative meal over a fire.

The winner was Dave Cole with his 100% homemade calzone.
